Croftlands Schools

Today we went to both Croftlands Schools, the Juniors this morning and the Infants this afternoon. We told the story of the Good Samaritan - but with a bit of a modern twist to it. Instead of using the Priest, Levite and Samaritan of the parable we had a Policeman, Nurse, a Celeb Pop star and a hoodie. I know there was one extra in my story, it also took place on a train and the man was taken ill and not beaten up by thugs (too much beating up in the world today). The children chanted a response which kind of made the train sound as we told the story. At the end we encouraged the children to do something similar - perhaps helping someone who falls over in the playground. The story to the infants was the same but I told it in a much more simple way. We had a great time and I hope the children did too.
